Teen sexting soars down under
AUSSIE COPPERS are worried about a fad which involves teens taking explicit photo of themselves and forwarding them to mates or love interests.
Detective Sergeant Campbell Davis, of the Victoria Police internet child exploitation team said that sexting rates were already too high.
He said girls were especially targeted, and 3G technology was making the problem worse.
Under Aussie law any image that depicts a minor in a sexual activity or indecent manner is considered child pornography but kids of today do not seem to really care.
A survey by Girlfriend magazine found that four in 10 readers had been asked to forward a nude snap.
The Sydney Morning Herald hit the streets to find out common sexting was in Melbourne. Hacks found three 15-year-old girls who said they enjoyed the positive reaction sexting creates.
Two blokes they chatted to said the they often received and sent images.
So that's a trend then.

Obviously these children need to be imprisoned for creating and distributing child pornography. The government mustn't stand by and let these predators prey upon...themselves.
Didn't kids/young people always have the tendency to give boy/girlfriends somewhat racy pictures? it just went digital now.
Of course uptight religious nutters always were alarmed by sexuality you could just as easily say eh.

Here in across the ocean, an explicit song was used to advertise a famous high end potable multimedia player, the next generation was then given a new themed name which further an inclusion of cellular technology.

So the message is clear from adults to children, sex sells and sell yours. But I guess this attitude is post with pro-bono work.

This is making me iSick!

Like the movie 2001 where all those monkeys to touch the monolith [representing intelligence and technology] To the planet of the apes when Charlton Heston Yells! "Get your dirty hands off of her you stupid ape!"

Or was it Animal instead of Ape?
Now we have to ban Australia to appease the PC clan.
